Egg Drop Challenge
(w/c 01.10.18)
We took part in the whole school 'Egg Drop Challenge' last week and the children had some fabulous ideas of how to protect their egg from a fall!
The children designed and made their 'container' and with the help of Mr Hudson we carried out the 'egg drop' on Friday.
Our Autumn Tree
(15.10.18)
As part of our work on 'seasons' we studied a deciduous tree in the playground this afternoon. We discussed how a deciduous tree loses its leaves and we talked about the colours of Autumn. We plan to observe and record how the tree changes throughout the different seasons.
Our Winter Tree
February 2019
Hot and Cold
(04.02.19)
We used a thermometer to measure the temperature inside and outside.
It was 10 degrees Celsius outside and 20 degrees Celsius inside
We agreed it was much warmer than last week, however many of us prefer the Summer!
How do animals keep warm in the Arctic and Antarctic?
(07.02.19)
We enjoyed investigating how animals such as polar bears and penguins keep warm in the freezing climates.
We tested lots of different materials and we all agreed that lard (blubber!) was best at protecting us from the ice cold water!
